So, Hegseth illegally ordered everyone killed in the first alleged drug boat strike on Sept. 2, prompting a second hit to finish off survivors in the water. — This is the real reason why Trump & Hegseth absolutely freaked out about the video against illegal orders.

I'll write a Substack on this covering some of these new/updated laws.

Illinois courts are taking serious measures to protect its residents from Cyberstalking, Harassment, Intimidation, Business Defamation & so on, especially when this behavior is extreme, outrageous, and done with intent to harm.

For authors specifically in Illinois, things like someone -

Review bombing you
Inciting others against you
Making claims you're mentally ill
Spreading harmful claims about you / your work
Intentionally trying to sabotage your publishing contracts

And more, Illinois courts take very seriously

Thankful I learned Cyberstalking in Illinois is a Class 4 felony, up to 3 years in prison w/ a $25K fine, if a person says things online w/ intent to cause a person who lives in IL emotional distress. The perpetrator can live anywhere.

It can be classified a hate crime if the victim is diverse.

Really interesting thread if you write books or sell books...📚
👇👇👇👇
I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

🎁link. As someone in Louisiana, this is really fucking terrifyingly bad. Please call your reps. I’d get the FBI at my door if I called Cassidy’s office right now. But one of the reasons I did call and beg him to vote against RFK is because Abraham and Jeff Landry wanted to dismantle La public health
Breaking News: The CDC quietly appointed Dr. Ralph Lee Abraham, who has been critical of vaccines, as its second in command. During the Covid pandemic, he promoted discredited treatments like ivermectin and, as Louisiana’s surgeon general, halted the state’s mass vaccination campaign.

If you need another example of the difference between legacy media and independent pro-democracy media, compare The Washington Post and Democracy Docket's coverage of the same story. ("controversial video"--WTF.)

This set a precedent for all international criminal law that followed.

Also, the trials, the "just following orders" claims were rejected and personal responsibility for war crimes and crimes against humanity was established.
